Another thing to think of is that you may have been part of the many that the NSA is spying/monitoring.
And if it was not for Edward Snowden bringing it to light, we may have not known.
The NSA also seems to be in a hurry to silence him as they are unsure of additional information he may have.

And you are not necessarily being spied on by the NSA.
They may have contracted others to do the spying.
Also, it is not just phone conversations, it could be looking at what you do on the net as to where you go and what you do.

But any spying on correspondence in whatever country without any form of warrant, is just plain wrong.

As a for instance, lets say that I was interested in the technology of the new printers that can make human body parts or firearms and investigate how to do it as well as download some free plans for making something with a printer.
Will this flag me as a possible "Enemy of the State" to be monitored as to where I go and what I do as well as tapping my phone calls and web activity?

In all of this, I am not singling out any country or nation.
Just imagine if I was considered a risk and was targeted for removal with a drone?

Yeah, I'm concerned too. And the way you bring the elements together (IT
and phone tapping, wrong interpretation of data, drone). They'll probably
say: "Oh, it was only an 8-bit!". (Sorry for the dark humor/pun.)

But the point is, police generally are not known for the acceptance of
originals (including inventors and artists): anyone not fitting the
mold is suspect. Such tools in the hands of such people are extremely
dangerous for the freedom of thought.

It may be just a sling-shot to fight a machine-gun, but that's why I dusted
off lsof and put it back in service. About Mr. Snowden, in my book, the
man's a hero of the people. I wish we had his "cousin" here in Canada.

We have the "Communications Security Establishment", a dedicated IT-
spying government agency which was recently detached from our CSIS.
Very secret. CSIS and the RCMP are accountable to Parliement, but not
they (the CSE) ... Only to the PMO (Prime Minister's Office). Among other
capabilities, apparently then can drive by in a car in your street and
"capture" whatever you're doing on your computer through the electric
variations. (That's my understanding of it, I'm not a techie.) My
point is that we don't know how they can interpret a behavior that
seems most innocent to average people, that everybody may be doing
in his/her way.

Anyway, let's keep our heads up and use whatever tools democracy can
offer to control these guys.

Yup..our Prime Minister would sell out to the US gov in a heartbeat.....grrr

We have extradition to the US a a default policy...not good, as some Afgan soldiers/protesters/objectors had to be sent back to the US..without enough questions. It took a bit of news/media to put some light on it.

We have a dictator in Canada at the moment, so whatever "ALEC" wants they get._________________Be not afraid to grow slowly, only be afraid of standing still.
Chinese Proverb

As any half-computer-literate villain is going to encrypt their communications, then NSA are wasting their time looking for terrorists in Google traffic: only the densest nutter is going to google "how do I make a bomb" ...

musher0 thanks for the thread. You tell us your not a techie
but I am not even on your level of knowledge.

How does one use that Isof thing your talk about.
is that a puppy pet or what? Built in or one have to PPM?

Okay so now we know that some minutes after one have killed the cookies
they still are connected to us. So one need to do what?

Wait another two minutes and then use that magical program
that tells whom that are connected?

My new neighbor some three stories up in the building
stood outside my door one night with a laptop and headphone
and was kind of snooping after my or the other 5 living on first floor
to see if he could break into our Router so I should shut it down
but don't know how to. When I opened my door he ran super fast
up the stairs and did not wanted me to see his face I only saw his back.

They are three Gamers living together like student collective
due to high cost of getting ones own apartment they cost very much
so a lot of youngsters can not afford it so they hire second hand.

Tell me how you do that isof thing_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Thanks Semme so obviously I should open the terminal
and write lsof -i and it list
You can list all the network connections opened by using ‘-i’ option.

Cool thanks for the pet file
I am using Lupu 528-005 so hope it works with that one
will test it later today and report back here thanks_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Not tested on other Puppies. Let us know? Thanks.

lsof is indeed quite a useful tool, even if you are not a system
administrator. I find it more flexible, simpler to handle and more
informative than "ps" when I need to know what process is doing
what or is using what resources, etc. And of course, it's a must for
detecting the open ports on your machine.
